Bode and Croaker are mentioned in Book 4, when Mr. Weasley is pointing out members of the Ministry of Magic to Harry and Hermione. He mentions that these two are Unspeakables, with the Department of Mysteries.

This was just one of the odd things that Harry encountered while at the Burrow.

7. What does Ron want to buy for Harry at Honeydukes Candy Shop in Hogsmeade?

Answer: in a filing cabinet marked Confiscated and Highly Dangerous in Filch's office
